Logan, Ohio
In late spring 2016, seventeen-year cicadas emerged in a section of the United States that includes eastern Ohio. The cicadas crawl out of the ground, shed their skins, and climb up into the trees. One cicada makes a loud and distinctive sound, but a whole group of them creates a dull roar.
This recording was made outside a residence in Logan, Ohio. The sounds of the cicadas are occasionally interrupted by passing vehicles. Both M. septendecim and M. cassini calls can be heard (See http://www.cicadamania.com/audio/.)
Sound recorded using the built-in mic on an iPhone 5.
